IRS Stockpiling Ammo, Training Agents to Use AR-15 Assault Rifles

Another day, another headline that must surely be “conspiracy theory,” but unfortunately for us all turns out to be conspiracy fact. While Obama was rolling out intense anti-gun propaganda and demonizing “assault weapons” such as the AR-15, his Administration seems to have no problem with the political group targeting, corrupt beyond belief IRS using them in training. It’s simply mind-boggling to think about this bureaucracy being armed with such weapons, and totally exposes what I wrote at length about earlier this year: The Gun Control Hypocrite. From Politico:

As chairman of the House Homeland Security oversight subcommittee, Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) toured a federal law enforcement facility in late May and noticed agents training with the semi-automatic weapons at a firing range. They identified themselves as IRS, he said.

While Duncan acknowledges that the IRS has an enforcement division, he questions if that level of firepower is appropriate when they could coordinate operations with other agencies, like the FBI, especially in a time of austerity.

Given the increased scrutiny amid the agency’s targeting of political groups and excessive spending, Duncan said, he intends to seek answers from the IRS.

“As law enforcement officials, IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agents are equipped similarly to other federal, state and local law enforcement organizations. Special Agents receive training on the appropriate and safe use of assigned weapons. IRS Criminal Investigation has internal controls and oversight in place to ensure all law enforcement tools, including weapons are used appropriately,” the IRS said.

It’s clear what is going on here. The oligarchs knows the U.S. military will not use violence against the American people, so they are building up the Department of Homeland Security and IRS to do the dirty work.
